Everyone shooting less than 65% should be required to shoot FT's daily until they do. Kinda like when coach used to make us run laps after practice for being a screw up.

I'm pretty sure they do. Heck we had to shoot 100 after every practice back in high school bb and report how many we hit. Surely they do something similar now.

One thing I notice on Vander Wal's FT's is that he tends to lean back slightly on his FT's, which is going to leave it short of the basket every time. His momentum needs to be slightly forward.

What's it going to take to improve at the line lol ;)
The same way you get to Carnegie Hall.
No need to go to Carnegie Hall, pretty sure no hoops there. :lol: Currently team is shooting 66.9% which is not good. Opponents shooting over 71%. There are 2 main culprits and we know who they are. Those 2 are shooting a combined 50%. Take them away and the team % goes up to 72.8% which is good. On the other hand our two best are shooting 82.7%. Take them away and the team % falls 60.6% which is really bad. I am sure every team practices free throws but like CBR said its more mental. You have to have the confidence to step up and make the shot. Our 2 worst FT shooters both have bad techniques. The one single thing you need to do to be a good free throw shooter is bend your knees, sort of like getting up from a sitting position.
